TPF - So exactly - WHERE ARE THESE JOBS - because millions of Americans are out of work, collecting un-employment & we have the highest number of people in our history on food stamps. As well, holiday sales were below .7 %, which is below 1.% percent - that's not saying that the economy is re-bounding! That's saying people are scared and now spending! As of January 1st - with the passing of the "fiscal cliff" - 70%+ of Americans will see higher taxes, along with a higher payroll tax. That means, that the majority of Americans will be paying "higher" taxes from now on. And - that doesn't include paying additional taxes due to Obamacare!!!!!! Remember, there are "always" consequences for who you elect! Enjoy those higher taxes.

The Pork Filled and Expensive Non-Relief Sandy Relief Bill

It's been 66 days since Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, causing major damage in New York and New Jersey. The storm was so powerful, it is in the running to become the most expensive storm for taxpayers on record. Historically, Congress has passed hurricane relief bills in the immediate aftermath of storm damage, but Sandy is a different story. Why? Congress wrote up Hurricane Sandy Relief legislation and then Harry Reid's Senate loaded it with pork. What's in it? Many things that hardly count as relief for victims.
